5which prosecuted the case, against the accused for the amount
6of the bail and costs of the court proceedings; however, in
7counties with a population of less than 3,000,000, instead of

13maintenance, the amount of the cash deposit on the bond, less
14outstanding costs, may be awarded to the person or entity to
15whom the child support or maintenance is due. The deposit made

22subdivision of this State, or to the treasury of the county
23wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a violation of
24any penal statute of this State. The balance of the judgment
25may be enforced and collected in the same manner as a judgment
